Popping the question: The search for proposal originality

There are traditional marriage proposals (bend knee, place ring on her finger while saying, "I love you. Will you marry me?").

Then there are extraordinary proposals, often involving plots that could stump the CIA. The Blade is looking for striking stories of how people popped the question in unique ways.

If you have such a tale to tell, please us at vwinans@theblade.com. Include your name, daytime telephone number, and the details of what happened. If we plan to use your story, we will contact you for verification and further details.
